Stylistic Analysis of Instagram Poem by Rupi Kaur
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
This research focuses on analyzing the graphological, phonological, morphological, and semantic features of English poems from Kaur's books "Home Body" and "The Sun and Her Flowers," which were posted on Instagram between May and July 2023. Using Simpson’s stylistic theories (2014), the analysis selected three poems from each of Kaur's books. The findings indicate that the poet employs stylistic elements as follows: graphologically, the use of all lowercase letters throughout her poems reflects intimacy and vulnerability, with minimal punctuation, only using a period at the end of each stanza. Phonologically, the poems lack a consistent rhyme scheme, relying instead on the natural flow of language and the emotions conveyed through words. Morphologically, the poet uses simple and concise grammatical structures to effectively communicate emotions and thoughts through straightforward sentences, drawing readers into her perspective and experiences. Semantically, the poet employs various figurative language elements, including metaphors, imagery, personification, symbolism, rhetorical questions, and repetition. The implication of this research is that Kaur's stylistic choices, such as lowercase letters, minimal punctuation, natural language flow, simple grammar, and diverse figurative language, enhance the intimacy, emotional impact, and accessibility of her poetry.
